Author Marie Bostwick to discuss new novel March 2
The Lewes Public Library and Browseabout Books will welcome bestselling author Marie Bostwick for a discussion of her new book “The Restoration of Celia Fairchild” at 5 p.m., Tuesday, March 2, via Zoom.
Bostwick’s witty story follows Celia Fairchild, a popular advice columnist who has insight into everybody’s problems – except her own. When she is short-listed to become an adoptive parent, Celia throws herself into proving she’s perfect mother material, only to lose her job. Her one option: sell the Charleston house left to her by her recently departed, estranged aunt. With a cast of colorful characters and forgotten figures from her distant past, Celia begins to restore the historical house to its stately prime, and with it, dares to imagine a different future for herself, her newfound family, and the child she so desperately wants.
The discussion is free to the public. Registration is required. To register, go to lewes.lib.de.us and visit the Virtual Programs for Adults page.

Each copy purchased comes with an archival bookplate signed by the author. Orders may be placed online at browseaboutbooks.com, by calling the store at 302-226-2665, or in person at 133 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach.
